Cubic-shaped grids made of wire form this sculpture's exterior, while the inner part boasts a torus shape, also made of wire. The design was created with meticulous attention to detail and the soldering was done entirely by hand. The finished product was coated with a matte black coating.

Drawing with wire
- • Racso tells stories through wire sculptures
- • He first tinkered with wire in his father’s workshop
- • His creative process is also his meditation time
Racso Jugarap is a self-taught wire artist, he never received formal art training. But he did obtain valuable experience at an early age, playing as a child in his father’s jewellery workshop in his native city of General Santos, in the Philippines. “I was not allowed to touch the precious metals, so I experimented with leftovers of the metal wires used to bind the casting materials, lying on the floor,” he explains. “With those, I created wire trinkets that I gifted to my friends.” Racso has lived in several European countries, until he became a full-time artist in Belgium, where he now has his studio. His first works, wire sculptures in the shape of ostrich eggs, were a big success.

The base structure of this sculpture is formed by rectangular flat-shaped grids made of wire. The inner part is a floating torus, also made of wire. Both are formed and soldered by hand.

It Will Come Back To You
This torus-shaped sculpture is made of metal wires in different sizes. Its intricate mesh-like appearance is achieved through the careful formation and hand weaving of metal wires. The matte black coating gives the sculpture a heavy appearance, but it is actually lightweight.

Ovoi
This ovoid wire sculpture is part of a series made with wire trimmings collected over several years, and then carefully formed and soldered. The combination of straight and curved lines creates a patchwork effect, the matte black coating a modern feel.
